That Film with John Travolta, wtf?! 😂
But I remember most of those adverts.
Great times!
Minder was on at 10.30???!

Wow! I didn't know you could record on both sides of a video tape.
Many thanks for the clip.

[@garyhunt2047]

oh yeah. Grundig made one. But, as you know VHS took over.

ITV was much slicker, better, more professional in those far off days, with a better and more varied programme of viewing.
It has gone downhill massively in 40 years.
